[PRQ#49480] Deletion Request for metacity2
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for metacity2 [2]: Unused, unneeded old gtk2 version of metacity from 11 years ago (2012), whose latest version is carried by extra repo. Metacity is already part of the GNOME project 'Flashback', providing classic Gtk2-like application look even when using newer toolkits like gtk3. Safe to delete this superfluous PKGBUILD.

[PRQ#49130] Deletion Request for i2p-dev
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for i2p-dev [2]: This package, last updated in 2021, has some issues (badly defined source). But instead of calling for a fix, I recommend deletion, on the basis that upstream does not create development snapshot/alpha/beta/nightly etc. releases, only stable ones. AUR has both an up-to-date i2p and i2p-bin package, whereas this one is several releases behind. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/i2p-dev/

[PRQ#52329] Deletion Request for gwaei
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for gwaei [2]: Broken, unbuildable since at least 3 years ago due to rarian's failure. No upstream release since 2013, and their website is gone. Better to delete. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gwaei/

[PRQ#55067] Deletion Request for nginx-mainline-boringssl
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nginx-mainline-boringssl [2]: Abandoned package from 2.5 years ago, not useful to keep as is. BoringSSL is Google's fork of OpenSSL. Repo's maintained nginx-mainline uses OpenSSL. Earlier, BoringSSL was useful for newer features like QUIC/HTTP3 support, but now the latter feature is in official openssl 3.2, and mainline nginx 1.25+ also rolled out this capability based on openssl as well.

by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-numexpr [2]: This Python 2 library no longer has any consumers, therefore it is safe to delete from AUR. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python2-numexpr/

[PRQ#50126] Deletion Request for jenkins-lts
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for jenkins-lts [2]: Unmaintained server application package, last updated in Dec 2022. Not useful to keep. Upstream releases a new version every 4 weeks. There are much better, robust, infrastructure operations friendly delivery solutions to facilitate deployment and upgrading Jenkins server application instances, with automated backup and rollback capabilities, compared to just pulling a PKGBUILD off of AUR. Also developers can utilize simple package / container managers for their own local testing instance(s).

[PRQ#50047] Deletion Request for librdkafka1
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for librdkafka1 [2]: Legacy version pkg; not needed anymore. Conflicts with repo's librdkafka and declares it provides librdkafka. This is not practical and also does not conform to AUR submission guidelines. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/librdkafka1/

[PRQ#50922] Deletion Request for com.seewo.easicare
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for com.seewo.easicare [2]: Unsupported old version from 2021 of Seewo Easicare remote teaching software. Upstream does not publish Linux versions, but the Windows release can be run on Linux through Wine. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/com.seewo.easicare/

[PRQ#50559] Deletion Request for qtraw-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for qtraw-git [2]: Discontinued; last released version is from 2015. [a] Repo got migrated to Gitlab and abandoned since 2020. [b] Broken: seems not compatible with Qt 5.15. From the latter source, master branch code passes RAW image file read tests with libraw 0.19.3 and 0.21.1, but does not pass a test for qt5-base 5.15.11's QImageReader error handling API. [a]: https://github.com/mardy/qtraw/releases/tag/VERSION_1.1 [b]: https://gitlab.com/mardy/qtraw/-/commits/master [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/qtraw-git/
